Allowing Network Access with Blank Passwords:

Allowing Network Access with Blank Passwords:


Although you can log in locally without a password, by default,

WindowsXP Pro does not allow network users to access the computer without a password. Typically you will receive an Unknown error 31 if this is the case.
To change this setting:

Go to Run type gpedit.msc Go to Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Right pane Options

Double click on Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only

Disable this option
